D&D General Art Thread! What does a D&D wizard look like?

It also is fine if genders are not easily visually distinguishable on all species. It is also fine if all species do not have genders. For example I don't think that warforged really need genders.

Agreed! Though again, I think with constructs it makes sense for them to be modeled after their creators, which can mean imitating sexual characteristics.

Sure, but we were talking about techniques for doing so. Also, corporations made warforged, they are going to get gender coded.

Plus they are malleable. They can more or less easily get someone ( from an artificer to a blacksmith) to make all the changes and adaptatio s to their bodies they deem appropriate, unlike fleshies. It isn't as if fantasy land has tons of plastic surgeons running around.

Oh, for sure, I’m not opposed to sex appeal in fantasy art by any means.

But there's sex appeal and there's borderline lewd.

Given long enough lives, Warforged probably take on many different aspects, personalities, and forms. Plus, we don't know what their souls are. Are they reincarnated mortals? If so, they probably have an identity gender. Are they some other sort of celestial entity inhabiting a form? Then they may not. Is their soul formed ex nihilo upon animation? If so, they might take on the gender of the form (which would mean the gender the creator wanted it to be).

That line is entirely subjective though.

I kinda like the idea of warforgwed being asexual and genderless and as such being completely perplexed by how obsessed the flesh beings are about such things.

That is a valid take, too, but I think it is more interesting if warforged are completely individual about it. A warforged that can low key transform every day to reflect its personality and preferred gender identity for that day is a neat idea.

I've seen art that shows not only ankles, but whole calves.

I mean… gender-affirming body modifications aren’t exactly new. They’ve just gotten better and safer over time.
